10th House (Karma Bhava) (Bhava)
Vocation, structure, reputation, public life
One of the twelve domains of life in Vedic astrology. Each house corresponds to a specific area of human experience — from the self to society to the spiritual. In the garden, each bed embodies a house through its plants.
Body parts: Knees, bones, joints, skeleton
Paired sign: Capricorn"Capricorn teaches discipline and endurance. Saturn rewards patience: squash that cures and stores for months, thyme that lives for decades."
Tend the life-domain of this house the way you'd tend its bed.
